Today's Question(s):

Other than getting married or having kids,
is there a decision or change you made, that had you not done this, your life would be very different?

Oh, my. There are probably lots of them, but I think the biggest one was moving to a different state in 1981. It really took me out of my comfort zone, and I never developed a liking for the other state, despite living there for 18 years, but I learned an enormous amount, established myself in my profession, and I have a much broader experience with and respect for cultural diversity than I would have at this point had I stayed in the Midwest all my life.

Things that had you saying
"Wow how did I miss out on this!!! "
1. A theater company that started up in our city a couple of years ago. We missed their first season, and I still regret it. 2. The fun of having two cats. We adopted our second tuxedo boy a couple of weeks ago, and it has been a non-stop riot watching the two cats play, chase each other, wrassle, snuggle and purr. 3. Get more than five hours of sleep a night. Well, to be honest, I'm still waiting to find out what this one is like.

Extra Credit Question:

When you sign your name is it
Easy to read? I think my first name is relatively easy to read in my signature. or
More like a bunch of squiggles? My last name, however, generally turns into a recognizable first letter followed by a slightly hiccupy-looking line and a curl at the end.

Are you a Sushi Fan?

Love it!

Favorite type of Sushi?

You know, I like all of it. I'm particularly fond of high-grade tuna sashimi, but I've never found any kind I don't like. We had a pickled baby octopus salad the last time we went out for sushi that was just incredibly good.

Other than getting married or having kids,
is there a decision or change you made, that had you not done this, your life would be very different ?1. Moving to FL
2. Saying "hello" and talking to a new neighbor who moved in my neighborhood 5 years ago
This resulted in the very interesting and never dull job I have today

Bonus Question:

Things that had you saying
"Wow how did I miss out on this !!! "
1. Rotisserie Chicken !! (lol tried one for the first time last night)
2. A new type of black eyed susan plant I put in the garden. The flowers are a lot bigger and last so much longer than the old ones
3. Saying "No" every once in awhile when someone asks "are you busy"
wait never mind I still need to work on that one or maybe just get the T-shirt

Are you a Sushi Fan ? There is a snowballs chance I woudl ever give this a try

Other than getting married or having kids,
is there a decision or change you made, that had you not done this, your life would be very different ? Probably hundreds of decisions, large and small. You never know what might have happened (or not happened) if you'd caught a different plane, dined at a different restaurant, moved to a different house, taken a different job etc. etc. The main answer I can give is migrating to Australia from England just before I turned 21.

Bonus Question:

Things that had you saying
"Wow how did I miss out on this !!! "
1. I honestly don't feel like I've missed out on anything that I've had any control of (ie I missed out on having a close family of origin... but not much I could do about that and can't change it)
